Patience is a virtue but...

I am the patient one, my husband is very inpatient. But he tests my patience whenever we are going somewhere.
If we were going someplace to be there at lets say eight o clock, I will start getting ready at six. My husband will start at seven, and in between times he will sit and watch TV, or turn to something that he just have to see the ending to. In the meantime, I am dressed and pacing the floor. He will finally finish getting ready fifteen minutes before we are due to be at our destination.
I will grab my keys and go to wait in the car.

This happens every Sunday as well before we go to church. I like to give myself time, in case the car won't start, at least we would have time to think of an alternate means of transportation. We were on our way to church once, he went through his rituals I went through mine. We had 10 minutes to get to church, went downstairsa and had a flat. We didn't make it to church that Sunday

I'd draw my line too when it comes to punctuality and being on time. I'd give the benefit of doubt upto a certain point of time, then I would just get on with other things than to just keep testing my patience.

Hi diutay,


Give your brother a taste of his own medicine next, but its my husband, I give up with him, when I aske him to co something he always ssy yeah, I'll do it in a minute his mminutes can strecth to days so I just try and do thing myself except the things I want done I cannot reach, I have asked him to dead head my rose tree yesterday and gues what? nope he had not done it, its only because I cannot reach the very top of the tree and short taken the ladder I might fall and I am not taking the chance so I hust have to be patient.
